The only problem I see with this is that the if conditional generates "Mail" when run from the command line. I've reënabled it as a LaunchAgent and I get

28-Jan-09 06:52:28 com.kreme.home.randsig[9845] Mail

In the Console ever time it fires. Small price to pay, perhaps, though I'd prefer to eliminate it.


I managed to fix this:

#!/bin/sh

MAIL=`ps -U"$USER" -co command | grep Mail`

if [ $MAIL ]; then
osascript -e 'tell application "Mail" to set content of signature "Fortune" to "-- " & return & (do shell script "/opt/local/bin/ fortune /Users/syth/mysigs")'
fi


No messages get logged to Console wether Mail is running or not.
